- My friends, when your goal is to present a model in gloomy, wet, muddy autumn conditions, heavy mud is to be expected. But you can use some interesting natural materials to enhance the look even further!

At the end where you said you were conflicted over making it a diorama due to the long gun barrel, I have a suggestion: do an alleyway or “long but skinny” base dimension. Yes, an alleyway would be complex and involve lots of building facades; however, I think the large AMX 50 needs something to further emphasize it’s sheer size. Just imagine, the huge French autoloader beast rolling down a narrow alleyway. Or, if an alleyway is too complex, maybe driving between some fences? Love the project and can’t wait to see where it goes!
I second this. Another option is to do a large book nook.
He could also put some kind of additional features, like more figures, a tree or shed and maybe some bikes.
Great idea.
I always love to see a new night shift video notification, your works are such a big inspiration for me during the past few years that I've been doing models
+1 sir
Dear Martin, your production value has been increased, slowly and steadly. Its amazing what one person can do! But you keep the main focus still on content, content, content. Thats even more amazing! There is NO OTHER modeller who talks SO MUCH yet has so MUCH TO SAY!
As usual I am fascinated from start to finish. I wish I had got into modeling in the twelve years I spent on the Abrams series of tanks as I could have had a ton of reference material. Oh well .. "c'est la vie"
It's around 6 pm and I had a little nap in the afternoon to prepare for a long night of playing World of Tanks... So what's better than starting the 'night' with a video of the best tank modeler on YT.
I think an interesting project could be a small tank kit in which you completely mask off one side to leave it just assembled and the other side do the whole painting and weathering process. This could show the huge contrast and of what the raw model and a fully developed one could look like and could be similar to those cut in half military vehicles in museums. Like the the aircraft museums where the jet engines are cut in half and you can see the whole engine internals.
such beautiful work.
Your expiration I build model and these videos help me so much
I watched this video when it came out and I alway come back to this video whenever I'm applying mud, super helpful keep it up!
My favourite part of this project. Lovely 👌
School ended an hour early so now I get some mud texture an hour earlier! I love the damp texture and sheen, the debris looks great! I’m excited to see the base if you decide to make one, I can never get enough mud!
For a base, you could try doing something simple, like a long, thin dirt road. This would accommodate the long barrel and help to explain the mud.
Awesome! It will turn out even better than the original tank standing in the Saumur
It is interesting how you continuously critique your technique every week. You are turning art into a science as you seek perfection.
You simply cannot get any better than this, you have reached the peak man.
Your work enthused me to buy several Mig Ammo muds and effecvts and must admit,money well spent...look good and work fine...ty
Jen bych Vám chtěl opravdu velmi poděkovat, jste pro mne největší inspirací a motorem zkoušet techniku, i když jsem dříve dělal jenom letadla ... Hlavně díky Vám, jsem před dvěma lety přešel většinově k technice. V Plastic Planetu 2/2022 mi vyjde článek, tak jsem Vám tam alespoň za tyto cenné rady poděkoval s odkazem na Váš kanál, který si opravdu zaslouží být co nejvíce vidět ... Děkuji... Milan Nes
Glorious
Why do I always get the urge to build another tank when I watch uncle nightshift 😂 beautiful as per usual Martin ;)
I watched from the start and thought the airbush painting, weathering effects and the resin kit were amazing. A fantastic group of vids. Thanks for posting. Inspiring.
I realy like your artwork.
Sometimes I think that soweit parts of a tank are younger than other parts..Every tank has a different story to tell.
no other model channel can even be compared to you
Another amazing piece of work. Fantastic 👍🇭🇲
It’s finally Friday! And a new Night Shift-video! Could it be any better? I love your work, the best models I’ve ever seen!
Greetings from Sweden :)
What's your profile picture from? I recognize it.

Long answer: it’s a B’Dooga from DnD (dungeons and dragons). I like it’s smile, it’s kinda creepy :)
Браво!!!! Великолепная работа!!!!!!
I am a WW2 aircraft modeller and wondered if you had any tips for chipping aluminium aircraft?...I am amazed at your modelling skills and would love to see how you would attempt chipping on an aircraft...or even just an example on a tank part as if it was made from aluminium...Big thanks for all your videos...
Thank you so much for always sharing your skills and getting so many people enthusiastic for
model building in general, you are one off the reasons i started modeling, so thanks
awesome to see my favorite tank modeled with so much detail.
11:55 😮😮😮😮😮 *You use solid paint too!*
After all, this tank turned out beautiful. Can't wait so see the figure painting video, really stoked about seeing your latest approach on painting a figure. It's always more helpful to see the actual flow than just imagine it based on text. Lets see, maybe I'm confident enough to take my first fully serious try on painting a figure after next Friday.
Maybe the AMX is aiming right above a richline or hedge. Might put a focus on the long amazing barrel!
Simply amazing. You make it look so easy
I am excited to see how you solve the base problem :D
When you said that you were using the paint from the Jagdpanther "last year" I was like wait, that wasn't a year ago, which it wasn't!!! It is just a New Year!!
Outstanding details!! Looks real and superb...👍😍
Beautiful end result to a very interesting model👍
My 7yo son and myself love these videos…….. he is obsessed with anything WW2 lol
I’m a car/truck modeler, but I’m going to have to broaden my hobby sights if i want to get him involved as well………
Nice result. I often use a model that I have a lesser attitude toward as a test bed for something I care about more. I figure if I don't like the result it's not too big of a deal. Recently, I have ground potting soil in a derelict coffee grinder to a very fine powder. Then, mixed it with various AMMO/Mig weathering products. Some of the results were actually pretty good. See you next week.
Thank you ,Uncle Martin .
🐺
I love Friday's on the Night Shift!
Would be cool to see you make and paint a Japanese type-97 with the jungle theme camo, you know, with the yellow lines through the middle!
Nice muddy tracks look great Martin
Kool tank design.
Those birch seed leaves look amazing!
Don't need a base every video. I personally prefer just the model painting with an occasional base as a treat.
You definitely aced this test, Martin! It looks beautiful. I vote for a base, but I totally see your point about the protruding gun barrel. Well done!
This is how God-Level scale-modelling skill looks like! 😍 Love your work and made me jealous for having much time to spend on this hobby!!
Great job the model looks amazing I can only think on adding small branches maybe one trapped on the front D shackle
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
please do more french house models. I love them :)
Looks great!
I'd like to see you do either a Centurion, Conqueror, Chieftain, or FV4005
Just like that! He’s already done with the model. It’s like he’s speed hacking or something, making it look so easy. :)
Another excellent finish!🏆👍
Another triumph!!! 😃
Goddamn, I need to build this kit!
For the model base, if the turret isn't already fixed in place. The tank could be lurking over a wall, bushes, or other obstecals, with the gun reaching over it.
If the turret is fixed, maybe a maintenence scene, or the tank was driven in an pit and aming at something.
Etherway, I'm looking forward to what you will come up with.
I read a comment about a guy suggesting an alleway, i would love to see that
Love your work! Btw have you ever tried making any wintery dioramas? I'd love to learn how to make realistic snow/ice effects on models and terrain.
He made a tiny winter diorama like a year ago, I think it was around Christmas 2020
ua-cam.com/video/aZvU35d98BI/v-deo.html there you go :)
Great video, explaining everything in friendly and logical way. Thanks!
Pretty amazing job👍! Absolutely love the finish of the tank before the weathering…all turned out very well…
Fantastic advice and techniques. Most remodelers have a tendency to over weather their models. I think its important to look at pictures from the time frame you are trying to capture. Doing a bit of research doesn't hurt. There is a fine line between weathered and going over board but hey it's just modeling not rocket science so to each his own. The weathering on this was superb I have to say. Unbelievable talent that takes a long time to perfect.
Outstanding
Great vid Great work!!! 👍👍👍
Awesome work!
Stunned- as always
This is totally madnes. I can only imagine me repeating Your tricks, with result looking like painted with old brush and thick paint. But maybe in the future I will have at least 50% of Your skills. All the best for You! ;)
Rite Unc, this model is growing on me, the tank itself that is not so much the 3D printing! Paint job as always is spot on Awesome. TFS, GB :)
TJANK UOU MY FRIEND...😎
And again an absolute masterpiece, really great work! Your inventiveness is just like that of the Beatles: limitless! I look forward to seeing you every Friday, keep it up!!!
Scenic base ! Scenic base! Scenic base!
Perfect! 👍
Amazing work! I enjoy the fact you justify and explain things very well as you are working. I really enjoy your videos.
muy detallado vídeo y modelo me dio muchas ideas para mejor mis maquetas, gracias
Looks amazing. I just ordered the T57 from that company. Pretty excited to see how it comes out!
Hi, long time viewer first time commenter!
Find your stuff both entertaining and inspiring, both as an artist and a fan of history. I try to copy some of the things you do and bring them over into my paintings. I recently started experimenting with wet-blending on the canvas and mixed my paint with some dirt from my garden, after some disasters i ended upp with great results! :)
You explorations into the world of dioramas have been probably the most inspiring of all! It's a joy to see all the different techniques and methods you try out :) I'd love to see how you'd takle something like earthworks, something like trenches or maybe some gun emplacement. I'm very fascinated with WW1 so that might be where that's coming from haha ;)
Creative work can be pretty tough sometimes. I hope that I, through writing this, can give you some motivation and inspiration in return. I'm very grateful for all the ideas and motivations your videos have given me :) Thanks!
Amazing work on the weathering but still, did not like the overall finish. Of course, the only opinion that matters, is your own! Always look forward to your videos and your take on painting and weathering! 👍
Still anxiously waiting to see you apply your exceptional talent and skills to a 1/48 or 1/32 scale aircraft model, perhaps in a "any landing you can walk away from is a good one" scenario.
Bloody great work again the NightShift! Stunning weathering.
You May wanna check out RT diorama ground Cover. Trust you ll enjoy them
Love the attention to detail and process.
Classy work (as expected). Always nice to see a not-so-common subject.
Awesome series, I am fan of 50B and seeing it come to live is a real pleasure, well done, I am almost sure I wouldn't be able to be as patient as you , well done, keep it up
Nice effects, as usal 🙌
And I love it
Outstanding as always. Obscure subject brought to life with your usual level of skill.
Great job, the longer barrel brings a more 3d dimension to it all, looks good. Plus the heavy weather pops on camera, but would be interesting to see comparisons against your other models so us novices can get a perspective and see what you're talking about when you make comments about certain effects?
Превосходно!👏👏👏👏👍
Hey hey! I hope your leg is doing OK. These videos are a highlight of my Friday. I have a quick question. I want to break into armour modeling at this scale, what would be a great kit to start with, maybe something with some photo etch, or interesting parts or additions. You see, I paint and model wargames figures and armour for sci-fi, ww2, and fantasy wargaming. It's been 30 years or so since I have put together a model other than 28mm or 1/56th scale. I use many of the same techniques as you, but your stuff can be so much more detailed because of the size of the models. Got any recommendations for a great starter model in a larger scale? Thanks again for the great videos!
Probably start with a Tamiya kit as those always have good fit. I've heard that M41 Walker Bulldog is good but I haven't built it myself. It's only like 20 USD on Amazon.
Tamiya should be a good start point. Maybe Academy/ Takom. Dragon are a mid point, more confidence needed kit. Miniart tank kits are high parts count, high detail and somewhat demanding on attention to detail and time consuming. But give great results. Good luck.
I have to say: Personaly, i actually really like when party of a model prodrudes over the edge of the base or diorama. It's kind of like the border is there and isn't at the same time (Schrödingers gunbarrel? ;D). A fourth wall break, in a way.
Great video
Hey martin, love getting to see new techniques to try on my models, but if you wanted dark dirt you could try using tamiya mud, it dries Matte and looks very great if you want a muddy tank. awesome video brotha!
-Matt
Heck yeah!
That smile :)
These videos are great for teaching and very entertaining
*Another wonderful weathering work, congrats!*
I wish my experiments turned out as amazing as this... lol Love it... Awesome work as usual Marto...!
It’s got an unusually happy countenance for a massive fucking killing machine!
I love the skills you demonstrate and I try to apply then to my projects!
Cool!
OK WHATS THE NEXT ONE A SMALL PEEP ,LOOK, NOT OVER WORKED AT ALL BUT BLOODY GOOD OUTCOME .
Love this tank 🙂
